Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2019

Feb. 6, 2020 | H.R. 2474

The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act would modernize the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to give working people a voice on the job so we can negotiate for higher wages, better benefits, a more secure retirement and a safer workplace. It would impose financial penalties on companies and individual corporate officers who violate the law. It also would eliminate state "right to work" laws, prohibit companies from holding captive audience meetings during organizing campaigns and remove the ban on secondary picketing. The bill would ensure that all workers have the right to join a union by cracking down on employers who deliberately misclassify their workers as independent contractors. Finally, the bill would establish a process for mediation and arbitration to help employers and unions reach a first contract. This bill passed the House on Feb. 6, 2020.
